Method Detail

isRequireValidMetadata

boolean isRequireValidMetadata()

Gets whether the metadata returned by queries must be valid.

At a minimum, metadata is valid only if the date expressed in the validUntil attribute of the element and all its ancestral elements has not passed. Specific implementations may add additional constraints.

Returns:

whether the metadata returned by queries must be valid

setRequireValidMetadata

void setRequireValidMetadata(boolean requireValidMetadata)

Sets whether the metadata returned by queries must be valid.

Parameters:

requireValidMetadata - whether the metadata returned by queries must be valid

getMetadataFilter

@Nullable
MetadataFilter getMetadataFilter()

Gets the metadata filter applied to the metadata.

Returns:

the metadata filter applied to the metadata

setMetadataFilter

void setMetadataFilter(@Nullable
                     MetadataFilter newFilter)

Sets the metadata filter applied to the metadata.

Parameters:

newFilter - the metadata filter applied to the metadata
